The Japanese haiku is a three-line poem consisting of 17 syllables – 5 on the first line, 7 on the second line and 5 on the third line – that conveys vivid imagery, emotion or a sense of nature.
A perfect wave break.
Sand and sea in harmony
in Huntington Beach.
Harmony
At dawn the seagulls
fly past the sun’s horizon.
The new day is here.
Walking on the pier
early in the morning mist
just the seagulls watch.
Saturday at eight
a Surfrider beach cleanup
transforms the shoreline.
Blue Water Task Force
keeping the ocean clean for
all of us on earth.
Surfboards and paddleboards
race along shining waters,
highways in the sea.
Meeting at Java
Point on Main and PCH
to drink good coffee.
Flip flops moving us
on a carefree day of sun
and balmy breezes.
Sunny and Patti
are off on new adventures,
having lots of fun.
Friends
Fish tacos at Duke’s
with cool Happy Hour drinks
and Aloha smiles.
Bonfire, s’mores,
playing the guitar with friends,
all happy singing.
Sunset orange skies
bring tranquility in night
time over the waves.
The SurfWriter Girls
Sunny and Patti wish you
Happiness and Hope.
Happiness
